All of the partners at Wake Family Law Group have been included in Super Lawyers North Carolina Magazine for 2016. Nancy Grace, Helen O’Shaughnessy, Mike Schilawski, and Marc Sokol have been listed as “Super Lawyers,” and Katie King has been listed as a “Rising Star” (lawyers under age 40).

“Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high-degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The selection process includes independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations.”

Four WFLG attorneys have been named 2016 “North Carolina Lawyers of the Year” in family law by “Best Lawyers” magazine: Nancy Grace, Julianne Rothert, Mike Schilawski, and Marc Sokol.

“Best Lawyers is the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession. A listing in Best Lawyers is widely regarded by both clients and legal professionals as a significant honor, conferred on a lawyer by his or her peers. For more than three decades, Best Lawyers lists have earned the respect of the profession, the media, and the public, as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals anywhere.”

The North Carolina Bar Association’s (NCBA) Women in the Profession Committee has completed two training videos for litigants in child custody trials. These videos are geared toward litigants who do not have attorneys, but they are also good resources for parents who are working with attorneys.

The videos are approximately 20 minutes long and are posted on the North Carolina Legal Aid website at the link below. The NCBA videos are the last two: “Custody Trials in North Carolina” and “How to Prepare for a Custody Trial in North Carolina.”
